Parklands

Meander along modern architectural walkways that represent the bins vital to the regions mainstay industry sugar cane or connect via casual pathways, bridges over lagoons and through wooded parklands to scale the 11m observation tower for a birds eye view. Watch the many species that inhabit the TYTO main lagoon or view the lay of the land. A great photo opportunity!

Picnic tables are available on the Cooper Street entrance next to the Hinchinbrook Visitor Information Lounge. Or take a picnic blanket and utilise the shade of one of the wonderful eucalypt trees or the majestic rain tree throughout the park.
